The SSTA will be undertaken by an individually selected international consultant. A total of 2 person-months of specialist inputs will be required with expertise in environmental planning and management for infrastructure projects. The consultant will be engaged by ADB in accordance with ADBs Guidelines on the Use of Consultants.

Project Data Sheets (PDS) contain summary information on the project or program. Because the PDS is a work in progress, some information may not be included in its initial version but will be added as it becomes available. Information about proposed projects is tentative and indicative.

The Public Communications Policy (PCP) recognizes that transparency and accountability are essential to development effectiveness. It establishes the disclosure requirements for documents and information ADB produces or requires to be produced.

The Accountability Mechanism provides a forum where people adversely affected by ADB-assisted projects can voice and seek solutions to their problems and report alleged noncompliance of ADB's operational policies and procedures.
